Otherwise this politician was arrested in October 2021, when he was accused of treason and helped the Russians in the annexation of Crimea.

According to investigators, in 2014 he operated with the Russians in the Donbas - a territory that is not controlled by Kiev since that year.

He was later released from house arrest - but by the end of February he simply disappeared - after the war broke out.

However he was arrested again on 12 April.
